“…Did the doctors have enough time to explain all aspects of vaccination to the patient, to take blood tests in case of potential health-related conditions? Unfortunately, in the background of the pandemic has been a mass of false and misleading information about vaccines (22), which made many people reluctant or frightened to be vaccinated. How can one measure a person's responsibility for refusing vaccination?…”

Background COVID-19 vaccine was launched in India on January 16, 2021. There is a paucity of robust evidence from qualitative studies on the acceptability and expectations of potential recipients from the COVID-19 vaccine around the time of its rollout in India. We conducted this study to explore the acceptance and expectations of the COVID-19 vaccine among the healthcare workers and community in Bhavnagar, India. Methods During January 2021, in-depth interviews were conducted with potential vaccine recipients in Bhavnagar city—health care workers, people over the age of 50, and people of any age with comorbidities. A total of 28 in-depth interviews were performed, including 16 healthcare workers and 12 community beneficiaries. An in-depth interview guide was developed based on the constructs of the health belief model. Following written informed consent from all participants, all interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed in English and codes were generated using thematic analysis. Qualitative qualifiers were used due describe our study findings. Results Most of healthcare workers and a majority of people from the community have shown willingness to be vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine as they had trust on the results of the clinical trials and on the government. Some participants showed hesitancy, which was attributed to concerns regarding safety and efficacy, negative news reports in the media and lack of awareness regarding benefits of vaccine. Some healthcare workers were hesitant due to a lack of transparency in sharing the results of clinical trials. Very few showed refusal in getting vaccinated due to their belief that they won’t be infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus as they might have developed immunity against it. Most of the participants expected good efficacy, minimal/no side effects, rapid and wide coverage of vaccine and a perception of getting back to pre-COVID life sooner. Conclusions Most of the potential recipients were willing to take the COVID-19 vaccine around the time of its initial roll out. Future vaccine rollout campaigns could reduce refusals by timely demand generation activities on vaccine safety/efficacy, involving leaders/influencers, addressing grievances, and minimizing misinformation.

This research consistently investigates the pivotal role and significance of political institutions during global emergencies, with a specific focus on pandemics. The analysis centers on the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has underscored the paramount importance of political institutions in orchestrating and formulating pandemic response strategies. Notably, health authorities, alongside the broader healthcare system, anchor their actions in alignment with guidelines and directives promulgated by political institutions spanning various tiers of government. In such exigent circumstances, the executive branch of political power plays a particularly vital role. The efficacy and seamless collaboration among these institutions become instrumental in executing successful crisis management policies. The COVID-19 pandemic serves as a vivid illustration of the situation, where executive branches at various governmental levels wielded substantial influence over decision-making processes and resource allocation. This paper contends that the harmonious interplay and synchronized efforts of political institutions are indispensable for effectively navigating and surmounting crises of global magnitude, such as pandemics.
